    Extrapolation-based approach to optimization with constraints determined by the Robin boundary problem for the Laplace equation

    No full text
    This paper considers the application of extrapolation techniques in finding approximate solutions of some optimization problems with constraints defined by the Robin boundary problem for the Laplace equation. When applied extrapolation techniques produce very accurate solutions of the boundary problems on relatively coarse meshes, but this paper demonstrates that this is not a real restriction when dealing with optimization problems. Producing a solution of continuous problem by polynomial extrapolation based on the low-order discrete problem solutions significantly reduces both computational time and memory. The present paper illustrates this approach using finite-difference and finite-element methods, and finally makes a brief remark about some tacit engineering assumptions regarding numerical solutions of conductive media problems by construction of equivalent resistor networks.</p

    The aim of our study was to investigate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in hemodialysis (HD) patients without diabetes. We hypothesized that parathyroid gland function was a determinant of insulin sensitivity and/or beta cell function. The study was a randomized, cross-sectional one and patients were divided into two groups (total 27 patients), Gp.1 being those with relative hypoparathyroidism (iPTH<200 pg/ml) ­ 9 (33.3%), Gp.2 those with hyperparathyroidism (iPTH200 pg/ml) ­ 18 (66.6%) with Gp.3 (consisting of 43 healthy subjects acting as controls). Insulin resistance and insulin secretion were calculated from fasting serum insulin and glucose concentrations by the Homeostatic Model Assessment score (HOMA IR and HOMA BETA). The value of HOMA IR (3.28±1.3 for Gp.1, 4.80±2.4 for Gp.2, 1.70±0.8 for Gp.3) as well as the glucose level (5.0±1.0mmol/l in Gp.1, 5.2±0.8mmol/ l in Gp.2, 4.6±0.4mmol/l in Gp.3) was significantly higher in HD patients than in control subjects. Excessive insulin secretion was present in HD patients (as assessed by HOMA BETA) significantly higher only in Gp.1 (p=0.02).peer-reviewe
